10. PRICING AND PAYMENT.
The following pricing and payment terms apply to all Shared2FA Products:
10.1 Subscriptions. Unless otherwise expressly stipulated by us in a separate and duly-executed agreement with you, all Shared2FA Products are licensed (but not sold) to you, and are offered on a recurring subscription basis. By electing to license and use the Shared2FA Products under one of our subscription plans (each, a “Subscription Plan”), you agree to pay the Subscription Fee pursuant to the Subscription Plan that you select and that is applicable to your Sales Volume (as defined below).
10.2 Pricing and Subscription Fees. You agree to pay us all fees (the “Subscription Fees”) for your access to, and use of, the Shared2FA Products (and any associated services) that you order and purchase from us, in according with the payment terms set forth in this section. The Subscription Fees for your specific Subscription Plan generally depend upon the number of phone numbers that you provision. Our current fees are available on the product pricing page of our website, or through a personalized payment page that we send to you (or to which we otherwise provide you with personalized access). To the extent we provide the Shared2FA Products or other feature or services for which we charge a Subscription Fee that is not listed in those pricing terms, we will provide you with notice of such Subscription Fee prior to providing the feature or service (for example, by displaying the fee to you on a personalized payment acceptance web page; by displaying the fee to you, for your review and acceptance, within your designated account or portal; or otherwise, by displaying the fee at the time you are using the feature to which the fee applies, and your use of the feature to which the fee applies constitutes your consent to such fee).
10.3 Subscription Period. Each Subscription Plan that we offer shall be subject to a specific term for which such Subscription Plan will be in effect (the “Subscription Period”), and you will have the ability to select one or more Subscription Period options for your Subscription Plan. The Subscription Period for your Subscription Plan begins on the earlier of (i) the date on which we provide you with access to the Shared2FA Products (if you do not elect to use a Free Trial Subscription); (ii) the date on which your Free Trial Period to the Shared2FA Products concludes (if you elected to use a Free Trial Subscription); or (iii) the Subscription Period commencement date set forth on the personalized payment acceptance web page for your Subscription Plan that you accept (the “Subscription Start Date”). Upon conclusion of your Subscription Period then in effect, your Subscription Plan shall automatically renew for a subsequent Subscription Period equal in duration to the concluded Subscription Period, unless you elect to change, terminate, or non-renew you Subscription Plan, as provided in this General TOS. We will automatically charge you the applicable Subscription Fee for the next Subscription Period upon each renewal, pursuant to the payment terms of your Subscription Plan.
10.4 Payment of Subscription Fees. Unless otherwise expressly stipulated by us in a separate and duly-executed agreement with you, the Subscription Fees will be based upon the Subscription Period that you select, and shall be due and payable by you to us as follows:
(1) Annual Subscription Paid Annually. Unless we make available to you a different payment plan and you elect the same, the default Subscription Period shall be annual, for which the Subscription Fees are paid on an annual basis (the “Annual Payment Model”). Accordingly, pursuant to the Annual Payment Model, your payment of the annual Subscription Fees shall be due and payable in one payment, in advance, on the Subscription Start Date.
(2) Monthly Subscription Period. If you elect a month-to-month Subscription Period (if we make this option available to you), then your full payment of the Subscription Fees shall be due and payable on a monthly basis (“Month-to-Month Payment Model”). Each monthly payment shall be due in advance, initially on the Subscription Start Date, and subsequently on the same date each subsequent month while your Subscription Plan is in effect. We reserve the right to amend or cancel the Month-to-Month Payment Model option for our Subscription Plans at any time, in our sole discretion, provided that the foregoing changes will not take effect during your current Subscription Period.
10.5 Changes to Subscription Fees. We expressly reserve the exclusive right to make changes to the prices of any of our Subscription Plans, and to our pricing structure generally, at any time and in our sole discretion; provided however, we will provide you with at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice of any such fee or pricing policy changes in accordance with Section 18 (Notices) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no changes to the Subscription Fees due or payable by you will take effect during the current Subscription Period then in effect, and will only enter into effect upon the beginning of the subsequent Subscription Period.
10.6 Automatic Subscription Plan Adjustments. Your specific Subscription Fees for Subscription Plans to Shared2FA Products are generally based upon the number of phone numbers that are provisioned. We expressly reserve the right to adjusted your monthly subscription fee when you add or remove phone numbers.
10.7 Additional Payment Terms. Payment of all fees are due in advance, and we have no obligation to perform under this General TOS during any period in which all fees due have not been paid in full. If you are paying by payment card, you must provide us at all times with a valid, current payment card number and related billing information as a condition to using the Shared2FA Products, and we will automatically charge your payment card for any fees due, without the requirement of your signature or any additional action on your part. You represent that you are not a “consumer” within the meaning of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. §1693 et seq.) or California Business and Professions Code §17600, et seq. Our fees do not include, and we are not responsible for, (i) any additional fees or charges imposed on you in connection with such payments by any financial institution, processor or intermediary, including interest charges, currency conversion fees or any processing fees, or (ii) any taxes, levies, or duties or similar amounts related to the fees or your use of Shared2FA Products. You are responsible for paying all of the foregoing, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes based solely on our net income. YOUR OBLIGATIONS TO PAY AMOUNTS DUE WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS GENERAL TOS FOR ANY REASON.
10.8 Free Trial. If you are a new customer, we may elect to make available to you the ability to use and evaluate Shared2FA Products at no cost (a “Free Trial Subscription”). Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, the period of the Free Trial shall be seven (7) days from the date on which we grant you with access to the Shared2FA Products (the “Free Trial Period”). To request and access a Free Trial subscription, we may require you to sign up for a Subscription Plan and to accept this General TOS. Further, we may require you to provide us with a valid payment card, and you expressly authorize us to charge the full amount of the Subscription Fees applicable to your Subscription Plan on the date following the conclusion of your Free Trial Period, unless you notify us of your desire to cancel your Free Trial Subscription before that date. Unless we make available to you a different payment plan and you elect the same, in advance, FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE TRANSITIONED TO THE SUBSCRIPTION PLAN THAT YOU SELECTED. You expressly acknowledge, agree, and consent to us charging the payment card that you provide for the full amount of the Subscription Fees of your Subscription Plan. We reserve the right to limit access to Free Trial Subscriptions to only new customers who have not previously used or accessed Shared2FA Products (and who have not been granted a prior Free Trial Subscription). We further reserve the right to terminate any active Free Trial Subscriptions, and to deny Free Trial Subscriptions, to anyone, for any reason and at any time, in our sole discretion.
10.9 Special Subscription Plan. We may, from time to time, and in our sole discretion, create and offer one or more subscription types (each, a “Special Subscription Plan”) to Shared2FA Products that offer features, functionality, or levels of access that are limited, or otherwise different from, the other Shared2FA Products offered under standard Subscription Plans. Special Subscription Plans may be subject to Additional Terms and Subscription Fees that are calculated differently from those of other Subscription Plans. We will from time to time make available to you information about any such unique features, functionality, limitations, and pricing differences of any such Special Subscription Plan then available, whether on our website generally, on a dedicated page for such a plan, or as part of a personalized payment page that we send to you. We reserve the right to introduce, amend, and to discontinue any aspect of any Special Subscription Plan at any time, for any reason, with advance notice to you (or to which we otherwise provide you with personalized access).

You may terminate your Subscription Plan to the Shared2FA Products effective immediately if we are found to be materially in breach of a of a material part of this General TOS, and we fail to cure such breach within sixty (60) days of receiving notice thereof from you, provided such notice is made in accordance with Section 18 (Notices) hereof. You may further terminate your Subscription Plan to the Shared2FA Products pursuant to a withdrawal of your acceptance to updates we make to this General TOS, provided however, that such termination is conducted pursuant to Section 2 (Changes to General TOS).
14.3 Termination or Suspension by Us. Notwithstanding anything in this General TOS to the contrary, we reserve the right to suspend our performance hereunder and/or suspend or limit your and/or any of Your Users’ access to or use of Shared2FA Products, or to terminate this General TOS, IMMEDIATELY AND WITHOUT ANY LIABILITY TO YOU in the event of (i) a breach of this General TOS by you (including failure to make any payment when due) or (ii) any act or omission of any of Your Users that (a) would constitute a violation of this General TOS if done by you or (b) in our reasonable discretion, poses a risk of disruption or interference with any portion of the Shared2FA Products (or the security thereof) or with any other user’s use of the Shared2FA Products (or any portion thereof), or (c) constitutes (in our reasonable discretion) an unreasonable, excessive or abusive use of Shared2FA Products, our systems or resources.

14.6 Product Discontinuation. In addition, and without limiting any other right of termination we may have, we may terminate this General TOS (or any Additional Terms) for the Shared2FA Product for convenience, by discontinuing the Shared2FA Product with advance prior notice to you, and this termination will be WITHOUT LIABILITY TO YOU, provided that, if you have prepaid fees for use of the discontinued Shared2FA Product Module beyond the date that such discontinuance becomes effective, we will refund you such unused prepaid fees, which will be your SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH TERMINATION OR DISCONTINUATION.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND US HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. THIS SECTION AND ITS SUBSECTIONS WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS GENERAL TOS FOR ANY REASON.
15.1 GOVERNING LAW. THIS GENERAL TOS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE AND ENTERED INTO IN ATHENS, GEORGIA, U.S.A.

15.2 AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE (INCLUDING QUESTIONS OF ARBITRABILITY) WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY, AND ONLY SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND ADVANCES ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.
TO BEGIN AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING, THE PARTY SEEKING ARBITRATION MUST FIRST GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE OTHER DESCRIBING THE DISPUTE(S) TO BE ARBITRATED. IF YOU AND WE ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE CLAIMS AND DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN THE NOTICE WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE NOTICE IS RECEIVED BY THE OTHER PARTY, YOU OR WE MAY INITIATE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WITH THE ARBITRATION ADMINISTRATOR IDENTIFIED BELOW.
THE ARBITRATION WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY HENNING MEDIATION & ARBITRATION SERVICE, INC. (“HMA”) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS RULES. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HMA AND ITS RULES CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://WWW.HENNINGMEDIATION.COM/. THE ARBITRATION HEARING AND ALL PROCEEDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH WILL TAKE PLACE IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, U.S.A.; HOWEVER, EITHER YOU OR WE CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE THE ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE IF PERMITTED BY HMA’S RULES. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR SELECTED BY YOU AND US FROM HMA’S PANEL OF ARBITRATORS, OR, IF YOU AND WE ARE UNABLE TO AGREE ON THE SELECTION, BY AN ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY HMA. THE AWARD WILL BE RENDERED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE CONCLUSION OF THE ARBITRATION HEARING. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON BOTH YOU AND US, AND ANY AWARD THEREON MAY BE ENTERED AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO THE UNITED STATES CONVENTION ON THE RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF FOREIGN ARBITRAL AWARDS (WHERE APPLICABLE). THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. EACH OF YOU AND US WILL BEAR OUR OWN FEES AND EXPENSES OF ARBITRATION AND PARTICIPATING IN SUCH ARBITRATION, AND ALL FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE ARBITRATOR WILL BE DIVIDED EQUALLY BETWEEN YOU AND US, UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING BY YOU AND US OR AWARDED BY THE ARBITRATOR.
THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO PROHIBIT YOU OR US FROM APPLYING TO ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, FOR INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF ONLY, AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO PROTECT YOUR OR OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR RIGHTS IN OUR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, BUT ALL OTHER RELIEF SOUGHT, AND ALL OTHER DISPUTES, WILL REMAIN SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.
15.3 WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR RIGHTS TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
15.4 JUDICIAL FORUM FOR LEGAL DISPUTES; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. IN THE EVENT THAT THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ABOVE IS FOUND NOT TO APPLY TO YOU OR TO A PARTICULAR DISPUTE AS A RESULT OF A DECISION BY THE ARBITRATOR OR A COURT ORDER, THEN, UNLESS YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, ANY DISPUTE THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE MUST BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY AND IN THE COURTS LOCATED IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, ATLANTA DIVISION. EACH OF YOU AND US HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF COURTS LOCATED IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, ATLANTA DIVISION, FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING SUCH DISPUTES, AND WAIVES LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AS A DEFENSE. HOWEVER, THE TERMS OF THE SECTION TITLED “WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION” WILL CONTINUE TO APPLY TO SUCH LITIGATION.
